Daddy's first race

Matt and Uncle Jimmy signed up for their first race a few months ago. They ran the Stowe 8 Miler in July and I couldn't be more proud of them!! They each trained for a couple months and had an awesome race. Our friend Liz also ran in the race so our cheering section included her husband Todd, their kids, my mom, sister, the girls and I.

It. Was. A. BLAST! There is something about a group of hundreds of people yelling and cheering on these runners - it was such an awesome thing to see. And Stowe is such a beautiful place to have a race - it was a picture perfect day and the kids had fun playing together while we waited for Liz, Matt and Jimmy to finish the race :)






There's Matt in the grey shirt (right in front of the guy with the backwards hat) - YUP! Even in a race of hundreds of people, he's still one of the tallest runners! It makes it easy to spot him :)


The best group shot of the kids we could get :)
